    Advance single - ‘valid until’ date

    Northern line operation questions

    Why would direction of travel affect whether it’s best to change at Kennington or Stockwell & Euston? I’ve lived in Balham for five years and have always used the Victoria line to travel to Warren Street and beyond.

    Blockade to allow Waterloo upgrade to take place, resulting in timetable changes

    Playing around with train times on Saturday the 12th at least, it looks as though inbound SW mainline trains are diverted via (and stopping at) Staines, but leaving Waterloo they go via Wimbledon as normal. Just the northbound tracks between Woking and CLJ out of action?
